In tonight’s Chicago Fire episode, Stella Kidd became a lieutenant. She was now in a position of power at Station 51. Kidd knows her team well because she’s worked alongside them and sure she was a little nervous. She tended to ask for Boden’s advice when she doubts herself. He told her to trust her gut. She was trying to do that when the first big moment as a lieutenant occurred.
She and her team were called out a burn out building. The building has structural damage and an Arson Investigator had gotten hurt when the steps had given away while she was on it. It was Seager. She was friend of Severide’s and the two have worked numerous cases together. So much so that Seager once tried to recruit Severide to her department.
Severide didn’t take the offer. He liked helping people more than he loved a good mystery and he helped Seager. He freed her from the destroyed stairs. She was a little banged up, but was otherwise fine and Severide even offered to let his crew clean up the debris of the stairs. His team doesn’t normally do that.
They only did so now because Severide was mystified about how the stairs gave way. Most of the rest of the building was okay. The stairs should have been as well. Severide looked into it. He well into full Hardy Boys mode. He found that the stairs were deliberately cut in a way to make sure that whoever stepped in would fall into a heap at the bottom.
It made no sense. The building had been empty when the fire happened. It wasn’t in much state when the arson investigators came on the scene and so the sabotage seemed personal. It seemed like someone was trying to intentionally hurt people. Severide reported it to Seager once she was back on her feet. She looked into it and she said that the building has been vacant for almost ten years. It was a real money pit for the developer. The insurance was about to run next month. Seager and Severide who teamed up once again for this case had thought the developer had burned down his building.
They even went to the office to confront him. The guy said he finally got the financing in order to turn the warehouse into some loft apartments and his building plans were on the books for weeks now. The developer was going to make a lot of money by converting that warehouse. He lost out by that fire. He was able to prove that Seager and Severide and so that landed them back at square one. Who set fire to the building? Why did they sabotage the stairs? The two later went back to the building to check it out and that’s when Severide spotted someone watching them. He tried to pursue the guy and he got away.
Seager went back to looking at the warehouse afterwards. She determined that the fire was actually accidental and that the sabotage was not. Severide was asked for his opinion on the matter. He told the OFI Captain that he thought the stairs were weakened after the fire. He thinks someone intentionally called a tip to the arson hotline because they wanted an arson investigator to come in and they wanted to kill him or her. It didn’t matter who the person was as long as they were an investigator. Severide’s gut lead him to that decision. It also seemed to be the only plausible theory given what happened.
Seager and Severide soon began looking into anyone with a grudge against OFI. They went through several people they found guilty of arson and Severide recognized one of the faces. He said that was the man he chased out of the warehouse. The guy he identified was Marc Greene. He set fire to his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend’s place and he served eighteen months in prison for that felony. Severide and Seager went to Marc’s home. His parents were real confrontational and they hadn’t even wanted Marc to repeat the lines on the paper from the anonymous tip. And Marc refuses to say it because he said that he had welder class that day.
Marc has struggled with being out of prison. He’s been out six months. He hasn’t found a job. He’s living with his parents. He was doing welder class as a way of qualifying to finally get work and his parents or better yet his father had claimed OFI ruined Marc’s life. Seager checked Marc’s alibi. He was in class during the anonymous tip. Only Seager and Severide recognized his father’s voice. It was the older man who made the tip. They went back to Marc’s home and they questioned him about being involved in his father’s tip. And Marc said he had nothing to do with sabotaging the building.
It had been the father. It was only the father. He confessed to it because he said OFI railroaded his son and all they did was do their jobs.
Kidd made the first big change to her team by adding Mason to it. Mason was the young man with a record and normally that would disqualify him from getting a job with CFD, but Kidd had tried on several people for the job and they all hadn’t been a right fit. It was just Mason that seemed to find his place on his team. And so Kidd went to bat for him by adding him.
Something that Herrman took credit for because it had been his idea all along
THE END!
